i'm at a lose about my daughter and milk

Ok, my baby girl is 9.5 months old, and she get between 3-4 bottles a day, depanding on if she wakes during the night for that 4th bottle. Ok so I had pumped my breast milk for her for the first 5 weeks of her life, plus she go formula too because I wasn't getting enough milk out for her. I was perfectly ok with that because she go the breast milk for a little time. After the 5 weeks it got too much for me, so I switched her to just formula. My mother-in-law keeps telling me that when my daughter turns 10 months I should starting giving her an 0.5-1 oz of 1% or 2% cow milk once a day until she is a year old then give her the whole milk that she will need. She did that is my husband, so she thinks it's okay to do so. I can't have whole milk becuase I get sick from it for some reason, and it was even worse when I was pregnant so I don't even know how she is going to be with the whole milk. Me, my little sister, or my mom can not have whole milk because we all get sick from it so I don't know. My daughter's doctor said I won't know until I try it with her. So I'm at a lose here with it all.

I only started giving my son a small bit of whole milk when he was 11 months old. Just a ounce in every other bottle. But he was a big baby so i was comfortable with it and it was OKed by his Dr as well.
